Help!

[sneezy]

My runt rummynose that I got on sat is spinning in my tank sideways rolypoly stylee.

Is it swimbladder. What do I do

Shall I just wait for him to die *crys*


FYI

16 gallon tank

stocked on sat after f/l cycle with
8 rummynoses
8 black neon tetras

black neons have been fine but rummynoses hiding at the back hardly swimming. I found one this morning dead on the side of my filter.

My spinning one is runtishish - half the size of the others with his eye almost as big as his head but he seemed otherwise ok.

stats

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20



He's now lying upside down on the bottom of the tank but still breathing.

I'm fairly sure it's a neurological problem. Could be internal parasites. If you're in the UK, you'll have to see a vet for appropriate treatment. If you're in the US, you should be able to get something over the counter at the LFS.

He died

Thanks for the reply though

Darn!! Sorry for the loss dude.

little Rummynose

Just a thought - were his tail/fins OK? I know you didn't mention any splitting, but I'm just trying to cover all bases, really
